The White Earth Nation, in collaboration with the Minnesota Department of Human Services, is
offering an opportunity for
tribal members and their families to receive public assistance, currently offered by counties,
directly
from the White Earth Human Services Division. Until now, only cases for households comprised
solely
of White Earth Nation members or lineal descendants have been eligible for transfer from the
three
counties. The White Earth Nation is now ready to manage and determine eligibility for any
household
containing at least one member of the White Earth Nation. Several services including Medical
Assistance
(MA), Supplementary Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), Minnesota Family Investment Program
(MFIP),
General Assistance (GA), Minnesota Supplemental Aid (MSA), Diversionary Work Program (DWP), and
Group
Residential Housing (GHR) will be offered. In addition, White Earth Financial Services clients
may
be eligible for other services unique to tribes as part of the trust responsibilities of the
Federal
Government. Any family who would like to have their public assistance case managed by White
Earth
Financial Services must submit a
Verification Form to White Earth Financial Services before July 15,
2014, to have their case
transferred.

Without timely intervention, the use of Ojibwe language will decline to a point beyond
recovery. Efforts have emerged dedicated
to the revitalization of the Ojibwe language. Our goal is to make available the opportunity to
learn
the Anishinaabe language no matter what school you attend, program you are a part of, or city
or
country you live in. We hope this website will serve as the official resource for the Ojibwe
language
creating a unique and reputable location that people throughout the world can access for
learning
the language.
